TL;DR

LoRa and Meshtastic:

  • GhostESP can now talk to Meshtastic and Meshcore networks over SX1262 LoRa radios.
  • The official Meshtastic and Meshcore apps work with it over BLE.
  • LoRa is supported on the Heltec V3 and LilyGo T-Deck.
  • LoRa is also supported on the CrowPanel Advance 2.4/2.8/4.3-inch and the CrowPanel Advanced P4 7/9/10.1-inch.

Bluetooth:

  • The BLE device detect scan now has its own CLI command and menu row.
  • It recognises many more devices: Tile, Samsung SmartTag, Chipolo, AirPods, Apple Watch, FindMy clones, Fast Pair / Find Hub accessories, hearing aids, exposure beacons, and Chameleon Ultra.
  • Dual BLE + Wi-Fi wardriving (dualwd) is available on PSRAM boards.

Wi-Fi and captures:

  • You can set your own channel hopping list for attacks, scans, the airspace monitor, and packet hopping.
  • You can pick your country in Settings > Wi-Fi.
  • Captures now include signal, channel, and rate info, so Wireshark shows per-frame radio details.
  • Captures now include VLAN-tagged traffic and control frames.
  • Several capture bugs that dropped or mangled frames are fixed.
  • A new mdnssniff command passively learns local device names (mDNS, LLMNR, SSDP, NetBIOS).

Apps and hardware:

  • New Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator with save states.
  • The Apps gallery now has folders: Tools, System, Games, Communication, Media, and Sensors.
  • The plugin API gained faster menus and a native options list.
  • The T-Deck can now play audio.
  • ESP32-S3 boards with an SD card can expose it over USB.
  • The Elecrow CrowPanel 1.28-inch rotary display is supported.
  • IR TX/RX pins can now be changed at runtime.

UI:

  • A clock in the status bar.
  • Analog and seven-segment clock faces.
  • A restyled on-screen keyboard.
  • Reorganised Settings and a new Row Height setting.
  • Subfolder navigation in IR, NFC, SubGHz, Evil Portal, Favorites and BadUSB.
  • The lockscreen is on by default.

Reliability:

  • Lower RAM use in GhostScript and wardriving.
  • About 15KB of RAM freed at boot on classic ESP32 boards.
  • Fixes for S3TWatch USB, battery, backlight and RTC.
  • Fixes for the web UI and C5 Wi-Fi scanning.
  • Several memory leaks fixed.

Changed

UI & Navigation

  • Added subfolder navigation to IR Remotes and Universals, NFC Saved/Write/Emulate, SubGHz Saved, Evil Portal, Favorites and BadUSB, with full paths for nested files and pagination in Favorites and BadUSB
  • Enabled the lockscreen by default with no PIN on fresh installs
  • Renamed the SD browser's bottom Back row to Exit
  • Restyled the on-screen keyboard with a standard iOS-style layout
  • Defaulted the terminal to white small text with padding, spacing and colour-coded output
  • Reorganized Settings menu categories for easier navigation

  • Sorted SD apps alphabetically instead of in card order

  • Added periodic capture progress and shut up the PCAP writer HWM log

Performance & Memory

  • Freed ~15KB of RAM at boot on classic ESP32 boards by releasing unused Classic Bluetooth memory at startup instead of on first BLE use
  • Raised the Banshee GhostLink UART to 921600 baud with a larger receive buffer so the higher rate does not increase receive loss

Fixed

Wi-Fi & Scanning

  • Fixed Wi-Fi country and channel handling to honor ESP-IDF channel limits, reject unsupported channels, and keep DFS channels out of active TX
  • Fixed ESP-IDF 6.1 C5 dual-band bandwidth setup, monitor plans and passive DFS scans
  • Fixed C5 station scans across AP/STA-to-promiscuous transitions
  • Fixed Scan All on C5 showing no AP spinner, as the per-channel sweep blocked the UI task
  • Fixed Scan All's station scan being cancelled by taps queued during the AP phase
  • Fixed Wi-Fi Security Check freezing with no spinner and spamming Enter in the terminal
  • Fixed the DNS server task overflowing its stack during Evil Portal sessions on non-PSRAM boards
  • Fixed NM-CYD-C5 AP row crash

Captures & Packet Analysis

  • Fixed the HT Control field being ignored on non-QoS data frames, which hid some ARP, EAP and IP traffic
  • Capture summaries now report frames lost to an oversized buffer or a full queue instead of discarding them silently
  • Fixed captures reporting success when an SD write fails
  • Fixed corrupted frames in the Wireshark USB stream
  • Fixed capture -raw and capture -wireshark dropping data frames over 768 bytes, stripping the FCS only from some frame types, and discarding every ACK/CTS as too short
  • Fixed the Packet Visualiser "Channel Hopping" row being unselectable by touch and doing nothing
  • Fixed Packet Visualiser selector rows being dead on touch boards other than CrowPanel P4

Web UI

  • Fixed the web UI dashboard SD Card card never populating; it now shows mount status, path and used/total space
  • Fixed the web UI dashboard "Remote CMD" field reading "No" while remote commands worked; it now shows Running/Idle as "Remote CMD Activity"
  • Fixed the web UI sending Wi-Fi commands with SSIDs or passwords containing quotes or spaces, and made command arguments, long commands and oversized web UI payloads get validated instead of silently truncated

UI & Input

  • Fixed empty options menus (Wi-Fi, Settings, BadUSB, NFC, SubGHz, and more)
  • Fixed the setup wizard getting stuck on the country step, which looked like a freeze on keyboard-only devices
  • Fixed excessive row padding in the setup wizard's country and option lists on small panels
  • Fixed on-screen keyboard preview text scrolling vertically instead of horizontally

  • Fixed AP/STA result rows rendering beneath the bottom touch bar

  • Fixed detail titles always showing 'Details'
  • Fixed detail view info labels being cut off instead of scrolling sideways when too wide

  • Fixed encoder select in scan result lists
  • Fixed T-Embed rotary encoder step rate and sensitivity
  • Fixed main menu and Apps grid titles being unreadable over asset pack backgrounds
  • Fixed BadBLE touch-drag scrolling
  • Fixed BadBLE poll timer leak on exit

  • Fixed S3TWatch backlight flickering instead of dimming in low power mode
  • Fixed T-Watch S3 RTC using the wrong I2C bus and chip address
  • Fixed RTC boot restore trusting an invalid (power-lost) oscillator time
  • Fixed CrowPanel display startup configs
  • Fixed Banshee GhostLink wardriving scans and S3 GPS fix selection
  • Fixed ESP32-C5 merged firmware failing to boot when flashed at 0x0 by placing the bootloader at the required 0x2000 offset - @yanxke (#395)
